GN Netcom, the world leader in innovative headset solutions, today announced the
Jabra EXTREME, a Bluetooth headset that features a fantastic new
innovation: Noise Blackout Extreme. Noise Blackout Extreme
builds on Jabra’s distinguished heritage in noise cancelling technologies using
dual microphones and automatic volume control to dramatically enhance call
quality, providing twice as much background noise reduction (24 decibels) as
previous Noise Blackout technology (12 decibels). In addition, a unique new
Ultimate-fit Eargel has been developed to guarantee superior comfort
for all day use. The Jabra EXTREME will be shown for the first time this week at
the 2010 Consumer Electronics
Show (CES).
The Jabra EXTREME makes poor quality calls a distant memory. To create the
clearest call possible, dual microphones capture sound while intelligently
filtering out background noise. This eliminates ambient noise even in the
loudest environments, enhancing the call clarity and ensuring the caller never
sounds like a robot.
The Jabra EXTREME is designed for comfort and style – users won’t even
realize that they are wearing a headset. Specially developed Ultimate-fit
Eargels mold to any ear shape to ensure a snug fit: one size really does fit
all with the Jabra EXTREME. The headset also comes with two rotatable ear hooks
that are contoured to fit the ear perfectly, ensuring a comfortable fit all day
long. Maintaining the good looks of its predecessor, the Jabra BT530, the
EXTREME features a sleek, updated style which appeals to music fans and road
warriors alike.
Delivering the ultimate user-friendly experience, the Jabra EXTREME truly
allows users to be hands free by eliminating the need to fiddle with any buttons
while on a call or making calls. While on a call, the headset automatically
adjusts the volume of the call to suit both the environment and the in-coming
voice, intelligently amplifying a quiet voice and reducing a loud one. In
addition, a technology called Acoustic Shock Protection protects the user’s ear
from any sudden blasts of noise. The headset also allows a user to manually
fine-tune voice and music volume to their liking. The EXTREME can also be
connected to two devices at the same time, making the transition between PC and
mobile phones, or music and talk, much easier.
The Jabra EXTREME is now available at Best Buy retail stores and at BestBuy.com for a suggested
retail price of $79.99.
